Chapter 253 This is the power of down jackets(1/2)
Xu Weiguo was also a little surprised when he heard that Ran Qiu recognized what he was going to do.
"Haha, finally here comes someone who knows the goods."
Xu Weiguo smiled and said: "Yes, I just want to use these goose down and goose feathers to make a down jacket, which is what I promised you yesterday - a warm and light jacket!"
Ran Qiu's face was happy, but soon she frowned, "Brother Xu, if you want to make a down jacket, ordinary fabrics won't work. You need velvet-proof nylon fabric, which is not easy to find!"
Xu Weiguo nodded, "Well, he is an expert!"
Ran Qiu said shyly: "I'm not an expert. I just read a few books and happened to see someone abroad doing this."
At this time, Lou Xiao'e grabbed Ran Qiu and asked quickly: "Teacher Ran Qiu, is the down jacket Wei Guo is really that magical? Is it really warm, light and...thin?"
Ran Qiu explained seriously: "Sister Xiao'e, Brother Xu really didn't mess around. This down jacket is really as magical as he said!"
"The book says that this down jacket is a top filled with down stuffing. It has a large and round shape. Generally, down jackets contain more than half of the duck down content, and some small feathers can be mixed in. The duck down is cleaned, sterilized by high temperature, and then filled into the clothes to make a down jacket.
, down jackets have the best warmth, are mostly worn by people in cold areas, and are also commonly used by polar expedition personnel."
"Down jackets have the advantages of good cold protection, soft and fluffy, easy to wash, high quality and low price, and green and natural! Compared with cotton jackets, they are lighter, thinner and warmer!"
"Brother Xu knows a lot. Although I know this, I have never dared to try it. After all, although goose down and goose down are easy to find, it is not easy to process them well, and nylon fabrics are not available to ordinary people!"
"Even if we finally find all the materials, making it is not an easy task!"
The more Ran Qiu said, the more admiration in his eyes became!
"By the way, Brother Xu, you haven't told me yet, how did you get the nylon fabric?"
Facing Ran Qiu's question, Xu Weiguo was just about to answer when a figure broke in.
"Weiguo, here it is! This is the nylon fabric you want. I spent a lot of time getting it!"
The person who came was none other than Ling Tong, the former Procurement Section Chief of the Special Supply Department!
Xu Weiguo took the white nylon cloth, touched it, and then nodded secretly. Although the feel was not as delicate as the down cloth from the New World, and it was incomparable to the cloth produced in the furnace of the Mysterious Farm, in this era, nylon cloth was as good as it could be found.
It’s not easy.
"Thank you, Lao Ling! I'll treat you to dinner in two days!"
"Okay, then you can come to my house and cook a table for everyone!" Ling Tong nodded, "Then I'm leaving!"
Xu Weiguo said quickly: "Since Lao Ling is already here, have a meal at my house before leaving!"
"How embarrassing is this!" Ling Tong said a little embarrassed.
"What's the point of being embarrassed? This is your first time at my house, and now you've helped me get nylon cloth. It's normal to have a meal, unless you're afraid that your sister-in-law will deal with you if you go back late!"
Xu Weiguo said with a smile.
After hearing this, Ling Tong's expression changed and he immediately said loudly: "Weiguo, you can talk nonsense, how can I be afraid of my wife!"
"To prove that I am not a henpecked person, I ate at your place today!"
Seeing Ling Tong's nervous look, Xu Weiguo also laughed, "Really, there's nothing wrong with Lao Ling being afraid of his wife. Look at me... I'm just afraid of my wife!"
"Sister Xiao'e, Teacher Ran Qiu can testify to this!"
By saying this, Xu Weiguo could be regarded as introducing teachers Lou Xiaoe and Ran Qiu to Ling Tong.
Soon the two sides became familiar with each other.
At this time, Ling Tong also noticed the goose down around Xu Weiguo, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Weiguo, what are you going to do? Are you going to invent something else?"
After saying that, Ling Tong immediately became nervous.
He knew that Xu Weiguo was powerful. It was precisely because of a report written by Xu Weiguo that he and Li Xianmu were isolated in the Red Wall Compound for several days. Even if the isolation was lifted later, people from the Special Operations Department would follow.
Of course, he was also a blessing in disguise, and now he has become the head of a factory!
"Haha, don't be nervous, Lao Ling. I just plan to use some goose down and goose feathers to make some coats. It's getting colder and colder today, and my coats haven't been found yet!" Xu Weiguo said with a smile.
"Indeed, it's time to make a coat." Ling Tong nodded, but he soon noticed something was wrong, and quickly said: "No... buy cloth and cotton to make a coat, why do you use nylon cloth and
Where’s the goose down?”
At this time, Lou Xiao'e took the initiative and said: "Chief Ling, Wei Guo wants to make a down jacket! It is said to be cheap, warm and light!"
"Ah!"
Ling Tong was shocked and looked at Xu Weiguo with an uncertain look, as if he wanted to get Xu Weiguo's confirmation.
Xu Weiguo nodded, "Sister Xiao'e is right. I told you earlier that you had obtained nylon cloth, and you went to the vegetable market to sell goose down and goose feathers just to make a few down jackets!"
"I know you must have doubts in your hearts, wondering how this is possible!"
"Whether you believe it or not, you can wait until I finish it and you will know after you take a look!"
"Now that we have nylon fabric and goose down, all that's left is production. In half an hour, I will be able to show you a brand new down jacket with your own eyes!"
After saying that, Xu Weiguo picked up the cleaned goose down, goose feathers and nylon cloth, and then walked into the house.
Lou Xiao'e asked Ran Qiu with some uncertainty: "Teacher Ran Qiu, do you... think Weiguo can really do it?"
Ran Qiu nodded firmly and said with a smile: "Sister Xiao'e, it seems that you have no confidence in Brother Xu at all!"
"Anyway, I think Brother Xu can definitely do it~!"
Lou Xiao'e shook her head, "It's not that I believe Xu Weiguo, but this fact is too mysterious. I never thought that goose down and goose down that everyone doesn't want can be used to make coats!"

“And it’s thin, light and warm!”
Ran Qiu nodded with understanding, "Sister Xiao'e, I believe this too. If that's the case, let's see with our own eyes and find out."
After saying that, Ran Qiu took the initiative to pull Lou Xiaoe up and walked into the house.
And Ling Tong also followed in.
Soon they saw Xu Weiguo busy at work.
Xu Weiguo first soaked the cleaned and selected goose down in cold water. After a few minutes, he poured about two tablespoons of washing powder into warm water and stirred it evenly. Then he took it out of the water and squeezed it.
Goose down and goose feathers that have been dehydrated and soaked for a few minutes
Finally, take it out and lay it flat on a clean table. Use a soft brush dipped in washing liquid to gently scrub it from the inside to the outside to thoroughly clean the dirt on the goose down. Then rinse it twice in warm water before putting it in
Rinse 3 times in clean water to completely remove detergent residue.
Finally, use a dry towel to gently absorb the water from the rinsed goose down and goose feathers, and place it in the sun or a ventilated place to dry.
After finishing this, Xu Weiguo took the nylon cloth and sat in front of the sewing machine.
First, he used a newspaper to draw a paper shape suitable for the clothes, so Xu Weiguo specially used a newspaper to compare it with Lou Xiao'e, and then drew each part of the clothes on the cloth.
There should be one layer of surface fabric and two layers of lining fabric.
At this time, the goose down and goose feathers have been dried. The down raw materials are first fluffed and combed, and then the down is spread on the bottom cloth, and the top of the down is covered with cloth, and then the down and cloth spines are integrated with a sewing machine.
Roll up to obtain roll-shaped down.
While unwinding the down, sew both sides of the down and rewind to obtain a down blank. Place the down material between the selected down jacket fabric and lining, and use a quilting machine to press the required pattern.
The eucalyptus seams are integrated, and the down jacket blank is obtained by rolling up, and the down jacket blank is cut into garment pieces and sewn to obtain the finished down garment.
Under the watchful eyes of Lou Xiaoe, Ran Qiu, Ling Tong, the deaf old lady, Xiaoya and others, a down jacket succeeded in this way.
Xu Weiguo then threw the white down jacket in his hand to Lou Xiao'e, "This one is made according to your body proportions. Please put it on and try it on quickly!"
Lou Xiao'e has not yet recovered from the shock. After taking the down jacket, she muttered to herself: "Is this a down jacket? The white one looks pretty good!"
"Sister Xiao'e, please try it on quickly!"
Ran Qiu urged from the side.
It wasn't until the whole moment that Lou Xiao'e reacted, nodded quickly and said: "I'll try, I'll try it right now!"
The down jackets made by Xu Weiguo are relatively loose, so Lou Xiaoe can easily put them on.
"How do you feel?"
Ran Qiu asked curiously.
"How about what?"
Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment and asked.
"This down jacket! How does it feel when you wear it?" Ran Qiu asked urgently.
"It just feels like...no feeling!" Lou Xiao'e shook her head, "The strange thing is...I'm obviously wearing it, but it feels like I'm not wearing it! It's so light!"
"If I had a cotton coat of the same size, I would probably feel like it would be a ball!"
"You are also a ball now!" Ran Qiu smiled and continued to ask: "Besides feeling light, what else do you feel?"
Lou Xiao'e thought for a while, "In addition to feeling light, I also feel...hot!"
"Weiguo, did you turn up the radiator temperature? Why do I suddenly feel hot?"
Xu Weiguo smiled and said, "I have never touched the radiator. The reason why you feel hot is because of the down jacket!"
"Is it so magical!" Lou Xiao'e was completely shocked!
